I actually love doing this, especially with people from my old friendship group back when I was super thin and athletic.
I have an old friend who was pushing 400, but has lost at least around 150 in the last few years. On the rare occasion I do see them I get a real kick out of the fact they're always kind of shocked seeing me put on all the weight they've been working so hard to lose, ha!

wow how do you do that!! I have also gone from lean muscle to slightly thicker .. and now I see people I have not seen for a while and everyone is whining .. which unfortunately makes me insecure
Ah that's kind of interesting because I've not really had the whole whining thing happen to me! I know that people definitely think things, but they rarely voice them.
One friend makes jokes with me about it, things like asking how many more plates I was going to get at a buffet etc but they weren't spiteful or anything. With many others it's more about their surprise expression when they see me, or the way sometimes they glance down at my belly while talking.
I know they probably will at some points have talked about how fat I've gotten with each other when I'm not around but that doesn't really bother me, I kind of like that haha.
